We were fortunate to get this B&B (recommended by another hotelier) they had just had a cancellation - poor them. They missed out on a fab place lovely room - a bit small - but well decorated and spick span bathroom. Steve and Heather were the best hosts and couldn't have been more friendlier/ helpful. Our stay was for only one night I wish it could have been longer. Oh and the breakfast set me up for the day we didn't need to eat till dinner time. If you get a chance to stay - enjoy - it will be worth it!!

When I booked my room in Bath, I was a little worried. I wanted to go on holiday completely on my own and I had never stayed in a B&B before. I didn’t really know what to expect and whether I would feel funny or out of place as a single girl on holiday there. I needn’t have worried. From the moment Heather opened the door and welcomed me warmly to Bath and to their house, I felt very comfortable and at home. Heather and Steve did everything they could to make my stay enjoyable, comfortable and fun. They were extremely helpful on every level. They obviously know Bath very well and had a lot of great tips on what to do and where to go. On my first evening Steve recommended this superb restaurant that was a little off the beaten track and on my first morning Heather told me about this lovely walk into the city along a charming canal. But it didn’t stop there. They were always interested to know what I’d done and how I was and whether there was anything I might need - a wineglass, a corkscrew, some milk for my tea. Heather even offered to do my washing for me because I had travelled on from another place. Heather and Steve really have a gift for making you feel comfortable and at home and by paying attention to the small details that would go overlooked elsewhere they really make your stay that extra bit special.

The house is a lovely Victorian building that was decorated and furnished with great love of detail. It is not directly in the city centre, but only a ten-minute-walk or a very short bus ride (2 stops) away - and the road that takes you into the city centre offers a lovely view over the whole city of Bath.

My room was a very comfortable and very large room on the top floor of the building. On my arrival I was given the choice between two rooms and I did have some trouble deciding because both were so cosy and pretty and - almost needless to mention it in this beautiful house - spotlessly clean (and I’m quite fussy!). The first one had a large double bed that looked extremely inviting. I chose the other room, however, because of its incredible view over the city of Bath. The room was actually a twin room, but I could rent it for single occupancy with a reduction of £ 25. Some B&Bs offer only very small reductions for single occupancy, so I was very happy to find a place with a fair deal for solo travellers.
When I thought things couldn’t really get any better, I went down to my first breakfast in Badminton Villa and enjoyed Heather’s extremely tasty full English breakfast: eggs, bacon, sausage, tomato, mushrooms, toast and tea or coffee. In addition to that, you could help yourself to cereals, fresh fruit, juice and milk/yoghurt and, as you would expect from Heather, she very kindly offered second helpings and asked if there was anything else you might like to have for breakfast. Heather’s breakfast really was the highlight of the day and provided the necessary energy for a long day of sightseeing in Bath.

My stay in Badminton Villa could not have been more enjoyable, more relaxing and more fun - this was definitely not the last time I’ve stayed there. If you plan to visit the beautiful city of Bath, make sure you don’t miss this gem of a B&B - and don’t forget to say Hi from Marianne!! :-)

My husband and I first saw Badminton Villa on Trip Advisor, which set a very high bar for our expectations. Not only were those expectations met, they were vastly exceeded.

We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was such a treat too. The room is bright, and the food both fresh and divine. It was such a warm and relaxing way to start each day.

Steve, Heather and Andy were all very helpful and accommodating. We received great advice on day trips to make as well as things to do and places to see in Bath. The memories were such a gift!

After a wonderful time, I forgot my travel notebook in our room when we checked out and didn't realize it until we got to London (nightmare). When I phoned in a small panic, Steve told me it wasn’t a problem. He found my notebook and gave me our next flight information over the phone. He told me everything else would be waiting for me at our next stop. When we checked-in to our hotel in Dublin, the person at the front desk handed me a faxed version of all our travel plans. Brilliant! It was truly a trip lifesaver.

We highly recommend this B&B if you're planning to stay in Bath. And, if you're not planning to stay in Bath, you might want to think about adding an extra stopover to your travel plans! We are very glad we did.

We have just returned from spending 3 nights in the most wonderful Bed & Breakfast ever. Heather, Steve & pheobe made us feel like one of the family. Our room was bigger than the average, superbly clean, with a never ending hospitality tray. The breakfast was sumptuous, from fresh fruit to a full english. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts even getting a plaster for my husbands sore toe. The accomadation was a short walk away from the city centre. Our host was able to recommend good places to eat , as well as directions to place outside the city. I usually stay in hotels but this place for out weighed any hotel i have ever stayed in.
